London-based DJ and producer Jay Duncan collaborates with saxophonist Ben Vince on her debut release for Phantasy, introducing two wildly imaginative compositions alongside a simmering remix from Ricardo Villalobos.

From the first notes of brass, quickly melting into a lucid shuffle, it’s clear that ‘In Limbo’ exists on it’s own terms. Vince's virtuoso playing, a feature of former collaborations with the likes of Joy Orbison and Mica Levi, is here gradually manipulated by Duncan into a hugely ambitious trip. This meditative and mysterious approach draws listeners deeper into a liminal, minimal space somewhere between the Fourth World as imagined by Jon Hassell and four AM on a dancefloor in South London.

Duncan deftly raises the tension for the title track’s more percussive and arguably club-ready sibling ‘Anti-Purgatorio’, drawing out almost impossibly taut and inventive rhythms constructed around wormholes from which spill Vince’s instrumentation, washed downstream amid slippery modulations and a distinctive analogue atmosphere.

Ricardo Villalobos adds to his own superlative history of remixes with a characteristically trippy take on ‘In Limbo’. Spanning nearly fifteen-minutes, the legendary Chilean-German innovator subtly reimaginines this ambitious record in form true to both his own musical heritage as well as Duncan’s futurism.

A Facta - Ditto

Kouslin returns to Livity Sound with a second collection of slippery club tracks after the 2020 Vision E.P. With an emphasis on head-twisting sound design and a detailed line in percussive programming, the London-based producer continues to reach into intriguing new areas without forsaking soundsystem-ready physicality.

The tracks which make up the Patterns E.P. stemmed from a period of personal experimentation, where Kouslin returned to making music for its therapeutic benefits rather than a fixed purpose. The loops and sketches he returned to and expanded upon for this EP bristle with originality at every turn.

There is a continued exploration of dancehall rhythms on ‘King’, while ‘Five Four’ toys with time signatures for a jagged, fast-paced abstraction of techno. ‘Why Don’t You Don’t’ is harder to pin down thanks to its knotty beat and mutant synthesis, and ‘Michael’ flips the script further with an unexpected swerve into pearlescent melodic lead lines – the perfect demonstration of the honest and instinctive approach Kouslin took when making these tracks.

Next up in our Floorless Festival takeover is resident DJ Flatcap who's speedy subterranean session is a masterclass in tension building as it excels in pace, rolling through trippy techno and electro weapons with interims of blissed out dub and bass to bring you back to Earth. 

Flatcap is a London based DJ, formally piloting Bristol’s Beeswax parties, now long-term Floorless Resident and co-founder of forthcoming label/party Elastics.

Taking place from the 4th - 6th August, Floorless Festival was a natural response to those lonely months brought on by the pandemic. The Floorless brand originally started as a series of club shows run by a group of friends who are DJs, promoters, producers and music lovers and have since hosted parties at venues such as Corsica Studios, The Glove That Fits, Venue MOT and The Carpet Shop. Over the years it has grown into an event with a real community spirit, seeing the same faces on the dance floor of every event. This extends into the festival where the music policy represents a breadth of UK clubland with a focus on local talent; last year's festival line-up included the likes of Mi-el, Allecto, Alicia, EMA, Melati, Manami, FAFF and more.

Floorless Festival takes place from the 4th - 6th August - buy tickets here: https://floorlessfestival.eventcube.io/events/41856/floorless-2023/

ESPOSITO - Framing Void [SPE:C DUB 01] PREVIEW

Earworm presents it’s first ever music released via the platform “Malmö Multum" -  a collaboration with and fundraiser for Bolero Recordstore in the form of a VA.

The compilation features tracks from some of Malmö's best and brightest in the scene. Each producer flexes their flavour and does what they do best which has resulted in an eclectic album moving through different styles. Purely by coincidence, within the variety there exists a cohesive flow in the body of work, as if the tracks were meant to belong together. The city inspires everyone in different ways, yet there exists a crossover with a mechanism to link those inspirations.

In light of the recent motion to close the beloved local Bolero Recordstore, this fundraiser acts as a celebration of what the store has done for the underground community and as a statement of desire for the collaborative vision to continue in new ways.

All money raised from this VA will be donated to Bolero with the intention to make future events and projects in the city even more possible.

Vi dansar tillsammans. Malmö Multum.
